First video of smallest snake captures mystery cousin

You might mistake it for a skinny earthworm, until it sticks
out its forked tongue.Recently
discovered in the Caribbean by evolutionary biologist Blair Hedges from
Pennsylvania State University, the new species is a close relative of the
world's smallest snake, which Hedges identified a few years ago.
This time, armed with a video camera, Hedges was able to film the
spaghetti-like animal when he spotted it on a dead leaf. "It's almost certainly the first video of any thread snake species from the Caribbean," he says.

The snake caught on video is a few millimetres longer than
its record-breaking relative, which ranges from 100-110 millimetres long. It
has yet to be described, a task that Hedges will undertake in the coming year.
"It has quite an interesting ecological story," he says.

At least a feint clue to scale would have been nice. Even now with leaves varying in size from millimetres to metres, it isn't overly clear.

Oh and a measurement in terms of millimetres,centimetres or metres would be fab - I know New Scientist loves units of measurement like "football pitch, cricket pitch and bus" but for people who don't play sport, it is less than helpful.

So no "about as thick as a match and longer than a class II skipping rope" please.
